Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CNN that America has discovered evidence that China has started attempting to interfere with our 2024 election:
“We have seen, generally speaking, evidence of attempts to influence and arguably interfere, and we want to make sure that that’s cut off as quickly as possible,” Blinken said when asked whether China was violating Xi’s commitment to Biden so far.“Any interference by China in our election is something that we’re looking very carefully at and is totally unacceptable to us, so I wanted to make sure that they heard that message again,” Blinken said, adding there was concern about China and other countries playing on existing social divisions in the US in influence campaigns.
To the shock of no one, Blinken did not “provide a timeline for further action.”
Does Blinken think any of us will take him seriously?
President Joe Biden’s administration LOVES TikTok even though he signed a bill that could ban the platform over Chinese ownership. Evidence has emerged that China uses it to spy on people.
The ban would not happen until 2025…after the election:
According to TikTok, ByteDance’s Chinese founder owns 20% of shares, through a controlling stake in the company.About 60% is owned by institutional investors, including major US investment firms Carlyle Group, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group.The remaining 20% is owned by its employees around the world and three of ByteDance’s five board members are American.The Chinese government has also dismissed such concerns as paranoia and has warned that a TikTok ban would “inevitably come back to bite the US”.However, TikTok is not facing an immediate ban in the US.The new law gives ByteDance nine months to sell the business, and an additional three-month grace period, before a potential ban can be enforced.That means the sale deadline would most likely come some time in 2025, after the winner of the 2024 presidential election takes office.
Biden loves to host young TikTok “influencers” at the White House. The Democrat National Committee paid Palette, a social media talent management company, $200,000 for paid media. It also received a retainer to cover expenses for the “influencers” to travel to D.C.
Biden’s 2024 campaign set up a TikTok account in February.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) is “worried about a mixed message” coming from Biden’s support of the ban and embrace of the app.
